Brandon Weeden and the rest of the Browns offense got the reality check they needed during Saturday's 27-6 thumping by the Colts. Cleveland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden, shown trying to throw under pressure from Indianapolis Colts DE Cory Redding on … (more)Saturday, said the Browns offense isn't hitting the panic button after a sub-par showing against the Colts. BEREA, Ohio Despite what it seems like after the Browns' 27-6 loss to the Colts, the sky is not falling in Berea, quarterback Brandon Weeden said today. "It's never as good and never as bad as you think it is,'' Weeden said. "We missed some opportunities. "I don't think there's any reason to push the panic button like a lot of people want to, but we've got to learn from it,'' said Weeden. And if it had continued that way in Indianapolis, the Browns might've been lulled into a false sense of security heading into the season-opener against the Dolphins Sept. 8. The defense was equally bad, but it gets a bit of a pass because it was missing four key players in defensive end Desmond Bryant, outside linebackers Jabaal Sheard and Barkevious Mingo and cornerback Chris Owens.
